I love this! Do people commonly use filtering masks to filter out smoke? I no longer regularly take the train, but when I am in a situation where someone is reeking of smoke, I get up and move. And if they think I'm rude for doing so, well, I think they're ruder for exhaling the smoke from their lungs into my airspace. (And this can go on for quite a long time after they actually took their last puff.)
HUH???? First I've heard of this, How long have you been smoking???
Gaijin, I really liked all the rest of your post, too.
